The wood used is mostly camphor
and cedar – beautiful fragrant.
The decorative patterning - to add dimensions of hidden
truths, tracing memories, connecting to the Ancient
Ones (the markings of the goddess figurines, the markings
of ancient Masks, the markings women trace on their
homestead walls, their home-made cloths, their bodies…)

I
am thinking about the inter-connectedness of
friendships and encounters,
the affirmation within sisterhoods,
the precious relationships we enjoy in this sacrament
of life.
These artworks mark moments of delighting
in the fragrance of being supported and held.
Whether we feel connected to the earth or to another,
we come together emotionally, physically and spiritually.
And so the figures dance, gently, purposefully, energetically,
in harmony…
It
takes time, as Georgia O’Keefe says, to have a
friend. It takes time to release images from a log of
wood, but it is always good to see them emerge into
being. There is significance too in the interconnectedness
– we are linked to each other in so many ways –
yet even in the togetherness there is a need to secure
a personal space between us to allow, as Gibran notes,
“the winds of heaven to dance between you."
